Resolutions Process

Through past advocacy efforts, the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs (PSAB) has helped to enact a modernized Borough Code; achieved success with prevailing wage rates on road and construction projects; helped to secure a $2.3 billion Transportation Plan and sought relief for unfunded mandates.

Advocacy is important because it helps you to gain access to programs, funding, and education resources that can support your borough. Government regulations have a significant impact in your borough. That's why it's important for your borough to be involved in advocacy efforts and in helping to decide PSAB’s legislative priorities in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C. You can do that through the resolutions process that is in place.

Individual boroughs or County Boroughs Associations (CBAs) can submit a resolution at any time, as issues arise. You do not need to wait until the months leading up to the annual conference to submit a resolution, however, in order to be considered for formal adoption at the Annual Conference, resolutions do need to be submitted by April 10, 2019.

Prior to the conference, the PSAB Resolutions and Policy Steering Committee will review submitted resolutions and make recommendations for the full delegation at the annual conference.
